THE ANALYSIS OF MONGOLIAN EDITORIAL PRACTICES ON ADDRESSING JOURNALISM ETHICS ISSUES

In this paper, the authors emphasize the importance of the role of the media in improving the self-regulation of Mongolian journalism ethics. The criterion for assessing the quality of the editorial-level code were developed based on the role of the editorial-level code of ethics, the strengths and weaknesses of the editorial code, and the factors to be considered in its development. Within the framework of that criterion, an analysis of the editorial code of ethics of the Mongolian media was conducted. Furthermore, a survey of journalists also highlighted the focus on journalism ethics at the editorial level. As we hypothesized, our research shows that the Mongolian media outlets does not pay enough attention to ethical issues at the editorial level.
